Foscarini Twiggy Pendant

Foscarini Twiggy Pendant, designed by Marc Newson for the Twiggy range, is a ceiling-mounted pendant that translates a sinuous, sculptural idea into an exterior-capable luminaire. The pictured version shows a tapered drum shade set beneath a flat ceiling canopy and is intended to provide overhead illumination in interior or exterior environments.

The pendant’s form reads as a tapered drum built from an open-weave diamond lattice. A decorative, undulating electrical cord contrasts with three thin vertical tension wires and gives the fixture a distinct sculptural presence without affecting the shade’s level. The available variants are not listed here.

Construction is visible as thin, intersecting strips that form a perforated, mesh-like shade; a circular, flat canopy anchors the fitting to the ceiling. An internal circular light source sits at the top interior of the shade so light is directed downward and also filters through the lattice, producing patterned shadow and texture.

The fitting is IP44-rated, indicating suitability for outdoor ceiling locations where protection from splashing water is required. The pendant is supplied with a one-year manufacturer warranty. Specifics on lamp inclusion, driver or dimming are not provided in the supplied data and should be checked on the technical product listing.
